HISSANOL Dozens of recording sessions and
hundreds of days babysitting behind them, sensitive nineties guys Scott
Henderson and Andy Kerr return to the outside world with The Making Of Him,
the second long player from Hissanol. Just as with their first
offering on Alternative Tentacles, 4th and Back, Scott and Andy have
managed to bridge the gap between their respective homes in Victoria and
Amsterdam, sending each other musical bits and pieces through the mail,
working under the absurd assumption it would all fit together somehow in the
end. And guess what folks? It did! Hissanol once again manages to
scoop up yesterdays musical leftovers out of the trash, toss them together,
re-heat them and pass them off as tomorrow's lunch time special. Low fat,
but high in fiber, The Making Of Him contains fifteen different
culinary experiences, each and every one guaranteed to leave its own unique
taste in your mouth.

But what else have these two at home
dads been up to these last couple of years? Scott, (here it comes)
ex-Shovlhed, ex-Swell Prod, current Show Business Giant
has been busy with his new band (that
not so strangely also begins with the letter S), the Skinless Franks.
Oh yeah, he also finds time to record the odd hundred band or two in his
studio in Victoria, Sea of Shit. (There's that S again....). Former
long serving third of Nomeansno, guitarist Andy Kerr has been busy
figuring out the Dutch and playing in a (how shall we put this...)
cabaret-ish, country swinging, bluesy, math quizzing, dart throwing, tap
dancing, vegetable binding beat trio she bang. Andy also put out his first
solo album on tape, Once Bitten Twice Removed. He even managed to
squeeze a couple of gigs in as guest artiste with his ex-bandmates, the
Show Business Giants, when they were in the Netherlands at the end of
last year. Suffice it to say, these two perennial penpals' plates have been
more than full.
